Memorable moment

A sword was a handheld weapon usually made of metal, not unlike a large knife. Swords were far less effective than guns, but many races used them as their initial weapon. Even when it was superseded, the sword was still carried ceremonially as a symbol of honour. (TV: Revelation of the Daleks)

While posing as a robotic knight, the Third Doctor engaged in a sword fight first with Irongron, and later with both him and his second in command Bloodaxe. The Doctor came out on top, but his true identity was soon realised. (TV: The Time Warrior)
